Discover Regis-Breitingen

Regis-Breitingen offers a range of topics to consider when planning a trip: the tourist coal railway, Haselbacher See and its protected areas, cycling and the outdoor swimming pool. If you’re looking for a hotel in Regis-Breitingen, start by choosing a focus: are you mainly interested in railway history, spending time outdoors, or nature and protected areas? The local features below provide specific guidance.

Coal Railway and Route

The coal railway is a tourist narrow-gauge railway with a 900 mm gauge and a heritage railway. Its route between Meuselwitz and Regis-Breitingen is about 15 kilometres long. The railway also runs from Thuringia to a stop in Regis-Breitingen. It passes through the Kammerforst, which is situated by Haselbacher See.

Special trips can be booked year-round for family, company and club events. Before planning, check the applicable booking terms if you’d like to include such a trip in your itinerary. The tourist heritage railway and bookable special trips offer different ways to plan a journey centred on railways and industrial heritage.

Haselbacher See and Protected Areas

Haselbacher See lies within the municipal boundaries of Regis-Breitingen and is associated with a 156-hectare bird sanctuary. The bird islands are an important breeding ground for waterbirds. Access to a beach on Haselbacher See is possible from Ramsdorf. As access restrictions may change, check the local rules before your visit. This helps distinguish the possibility of beach access from the importance of the islands as a breeding ground when planning your trip.

A protected area includes the Kirchteich pond south of Regis and extends southeast of Breitingen to the Thuringian border. The “Northern Part of Haselbacher Ponds” is designated as an FFH site; it includes areas south of Regis and southeast of Breitingen, extending to the Thuringian border. These protected-area references help locate the landscape, while access rules for a specific visit should be checked separately on site.
